Leadership: The Heart of HR
Outstanding CHROs and talent acquisition leaders will be recognised and celebrated for their efforts and achievements with the Chief HR Officer of the Year and Talent Acquisition Leader of the Year Awards during the HRO Today Forum EMEA on 9 November, 2016.
This year marks the second annual CHRO of the Year EMEA Awards—this honour goes to a CHRO with the ability to adapt to a constantly changing and challenging business environment whilst delivering the people skills companies need. At HRO Today, we value the importance of CHROs as they drive workforce initiatives through innovation and with results.
The TA Leader of the Year award represents the role that talent plays as a critical organisational asset. The leaders who drive talent initiatives are directly responsible for attracting and retaining top performers, and therefore deserve to be recognised for their important contributions to their organisations by and large.
On the Horizon
Diverse recruiting challenges that perceptive HR executives will need to tackle in Asia.
In Asia, which is comprised of nearly 50 different countries, talent acquisition can be a serious challenge. Cultural differences, new technology, and frequent employee turnover can influence the effectiveness of engagement and retention strategies in a highly competitive market. HR executives who stay ahead of future trends and predictions, however, will be able to conquer these challenges and develop an efficient system for hiring and keeping top performers.
Going Global with Talent Acquisition Management
How a major corporation’s VP of talent acquisition leads worldwide recruitment efforts.
By Christa Elliott
Schneider Electric has more than 185,000 employees across more than 100 countries—and Yvette Stortz, the company’s global vice president of talent acquisition and mobility, oversees the talent acquisition function for all of them. Her leadership has not only reduced headhunter reliance for executive recruitment in half, but also brought recruitment agency use down to less than 2 per cent for North America and produced similar numbers globally.
Brexit: Now What?
As the U.K. looks at an unprecedented time for employment, one expert offers tips on how to handle workforce issues.
By The Editors
With the recent Brexit (British exit) from the European Union (EU), HR teams and employers in the U. K. now have to determine how to handle multiple issues with their employees. Similarly, HR teams in other parts of the EU need to handle any changes that will affect them as well.
Sticking to the Rules
New EU data privacy rules will affect recruitment across borders. Here’s how to ensure compliance.
By Seb O’Connell
Imagine an employer receives a tip regarding a talented individual residing in Europe who might be a good fit for an open position at their organisation. The tip includes an individual’s name, mobile phone number, address, personal email address, and gender. The source did not receive express written permission to send this information, but was simply trying to do the employer— and the individual—a favour.
Or, as another example, someone who sits in a U.K organisation (that operates across the globe), has access to a database of contact information for employees worldwide. Staff from outside Europe also has access to this database to conduct regular business.
Managing Global Mobility
How organisations can better align relocation with talent management strategy.
In today’s competitive business environment, mobility is more than just relocating employees to new markets. It means creating a global business plan around the drivers and goals for annual relocations—and looks beyond the bottom line in terms of measuring the efficiency of mobility programmes.
Editor’s Letter: Looking Ahead
The future of HR is both uncertain and exciting. We can anticipate change, but we really don’t know what the coming years will bring.Technology constantly develops, and so more HR leaders turn to new ways to recruit, retain, and manage employees in a tech-savvy world.

We also believe in education. We hope you will attend (or are possibly reading this very issue at) our HRO Today Forum EMEA on 8-10 November, 2016 in Edinburgh, Scotland. This three-day conference promises to cover topics that those in the industry need to be aware of whilst providing opportunities to network with your like-minded peers who are successfully navigating the HR landscape. Don’t miss exciting and future-forward sessions like “How HR can Build a Vision on Applying Disruptive Technology,” “Tomorrow’s World Today: Competing in the Age of Quests,” and “Learning Transformation: The View is Worth the Climb.” See friends and colleagues as they are honored during the HRO Today Awards Gala, and discuss strategies and skills with them at the HR Topic Tables.
